ALTAMoNT, Md, Oct. 4, 1887,
Mr.. EDITOR ALLOW me through
your paper to say to my fellow Re
publicans, that it is time we should
begin to feel deep interest in the
welfare of our ticket. 1 have been a
constant voter for thirty-nine years,
and have never seen brighter pros
pect for clean sweep all over the
State than at present. and as for the
success of our county ticket there can
be no doubt if we all go to work. At
the head of our ticket we have Mr..
E. q. Tower, one of CARROTS most
EhSortlsy sons, who has three of the
best recommendations which any one
could have for the position LIST. He
was appointed by the Court to fill the
unexphed term of his father. because
he was Known by the Judges to be
competeit. I'd. That he has filled
the offict to the satisfaction of all
parties who have had business in the
office, andsd. He is bonded by some
of the best hen in the county, of both
political parties, and I feel that it is
the duty of Ill Republicans to work
for his election, especially as the du-
ties of his ottie demands his presence
and he cannotgo out to see the people
as other candidates do.
Next comes Dur States Attorney,
w. p. Townsheld, who has had large
experience in the duties of the Office,
and is a good lawyer. He is alto
gether capable OF filling the Office in
the most acceptable manner.
Mr.. George w. Wilson. one of our
candidates for the House of Delegates,
needs no recommendation at our
Manifestations speak louder than
words. He has been tried and we
all know that he is all right.
Mr.. T. H. Bittinger is a young self
made man, who has been constant
and effective worker in the party
ever since he was voter. His char
acter for sobriety and morality is
good, and no doubt he will fill the
Office with credit.
Our Orphans Court ticket is good
one. Messrs. Catteel and Ramp are
well known farmers. and Mr.. Morgan
is miner in Bloomington district.
All are intelligent, honorable men,
and all should be elected.
Our County Commissioner ticket
recommends itself wherever Messrs.
Brison WEIGH, Michael burst and
VIM. P. Hapsel are known. They
are all solid farmers, and know the
necessity of acting with economy,
and tightening the burdens of the tax
payers wherever it can be done with
true economy. They are all men of
good moral character, and are worthy
of the support of every Republican,
and it is especially of interest to the
Republican party that they should
receive it.
Our candidate for Sheriff, Mr.. Ed.
E. SolIars, is good farmer, with un-
blemished character, and is a staunch
Republican, and stands as high as
any man in the county in all the
virtues that are essential in a good
public officer.
For Register of Wills, Samuel Law
ton, son of the late Samuel Lawton,
deceased, who carried on the wooden
factory at Oakland for number of
years, stands as high in the estima.
ton of all who know him as any man
in the county. He is now in the
office. and has proven himself COM
petent to fill it.
Then our old and esteemed friend
John Harmed, who is one of Garrett
county's best surveyors, is in the field
again, and you all know him. for he
has occupied the position before and
we haye never heard of fault found
with him or his work.
And now let me say to you, as an
honest Republican come out on elec-
ton day and vote the whole ticket,
without a scratch, and the victory is
ours. 1t is no use to say that this or
that Democrat is a clever fellow and
we will try him again. We have
tried that often enough and always
been deceived. We have tried it In
the Senate, in the Legislature, in the
County Commissioners and down to
the lowest offices. and all have failed
If any were disappointed or wronged
by the action of the convention. lei
them say we can't all think alike
but we can all vote alike. 1t is only
for two years and then we can try
again and all may be well.
A VOTER.
